Valve Developer Community talk:List of common misspellings

The spelling error page doesn't update properly sometimes. Maybe a caching problem? I vaguely recall reading that this feature was dropped from later MediaWiki versions because it wasn't being maintained. —Maven ^(talk) 17:39, 31 Oct 2005 (PST)

Yeah, in 1.5, they removed the maintainence page because it wasn't maintained lol. But I have a question. What about different dialects of English? For example, America uses "color" but Australia, Britain and I think Canada(I don't know about Canada), as well as many others, uses "colour".—King Pon IV ^(talk) 21:37, 31 Oct 2005 (PST)

We'll need some consensus on that. Until we have one, we'd best be tolerant. —Maven ^(talk) 08:09, 1 Nov 2005 (PST)

How strict and/or specific should this page be? For instance: viola is a perfectly valid term for a certain stringed instrument, but most of the time the word we want is voila. Many apostrophe-toting contractions are often misrendered without them--I commonly see theres and wont, the latter of which is actually good but relatively unused. Cuz and i should never appear in any page to begin with, but again, i can occasionally be used for good. Which do we list here? --Raeven0
